If I may, I’d like to tell you a story about that time we found an abandoned puppy (ca. 5-6 weeks old) in Italy.

And if you’d like to help abandoned puppies like Max, please see below.

Dutch/foodie friends, help please: does this baked concoction in the shape of a drain siphon have a name?

Also, why?

I have a new article out in @gastronomica.bsky.social that might be useful to those of you teaching "Nutritionism" in your #foodstudies classes.

It's inspired by my own students in my course on concepts in history. Huge thanks to @gyorgyscrinis.bsky.social.

What a phenomenal conference. Fascinating papers and keynotes, lovely friends, excellent food and a dream location. Huge thanks to @doravargha.bsky.social and the #EAHMH25 team for their stellar organization. Can’t wait for Prague 2027.

Fascinating talk by Laura Smith on J. Marion Sims and the mechanisms by which he “whitewashed” the Black enslaved patients he experimented on in his medical publications

And that’s a wrap! Still buzzing from the wonderful energy at the Amsterdam Food Symposium. So grateful to all the wonderful speakers, some of whom traveled far to share their knowledge with us. Food history is an evolving and expanding field, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it.
